Hey everyone, newb here with my first post.  Last week I had my 2017 Sierra 1500 (5.3, 8spd 75K miles) detailed and upon receiving it back the driver door would not unlock.  I had to manually unlock the door.  The door lock actuator would not work with the fob or the switch on the door.  No big deal as it is parked in the garage at night and it is parked right outside my office window during the day.  Figured I would fix it when the weather cools down.  A couple days later it locked when I put in drive (as do all the doors) but had to pull the handle twice to unlock.  Next thing you know, it doesn't work again at all.  Yesterday (almost a week since being detailed) I get in it to drive home and the check engine light comes on.  Get home check the codes and it is the infamous trans temp sensor/harness codes.  After reading the codes I get in, start it up and put it in drive and the door locks.  Driving into work this morning I watched the tranny temp and it did not show any erratic swings in temp, was anywhere between 135-160 (stopped vs driving).  When it would fluctuate it was +/- 5 degrees.  And the door lock actuator did not work again.  Is it just happen stance that these things happened around the same time or is it possible the BCM/PCM got wet during the detail or is maybe this signs of the batter about to crap out?

 

Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      These show the problem and symptoms, and I explain things too. to clarify again, I did not change over any computers or wiring (with the exception of the map sensor). All of the computers and wiring are original to the 2010 vehicle   video 1 - background info/explanation and part of the problem   video 2, idle misfire   I think the reason that the MAP sensor is reading High is because the engine is misfiring so there is less vacuum...   Additionally there's a p0102 for the MAF low frequency, and a p0108 for the map high voltage.        Again, apologies for the somewhat long-winded explanation, it's a rather difficult problem to explain without going into the details.

      DFM Disabler

      You'd want the Pulsar to be safe.  That was the first product that worked for 10 speed trucks that they came out with.   Range Technology 22451 Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 GM Gas Trucks     That said, in the features description of the RA003B, it does list it working with 10 speeds.  However there are reports that the RA003B can cause some drivability issues on early 10 speeds.  So the Pulsar is the safest move IMO.      Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler   Features: Range AFM/DFM Disabler keeps you in full power 100% of the time Simply plug into your onboard OBD-II port and it instantly begins working to eliminate the AFM system Disables Auto Start/Stop Blue LEDs The Range AFM/DFM Disabler does not reprogram factory ECU Works in hundreds of applications, 2007-2022, including 10-speed models. Leaves no trace, unplug it to return to factory settings Virtually no battery draw Fits all V6 and V8 General Motors (GM) active or dynamic fuel management vehicles, includes cars, trucks, and SUVs This device does not support the 2022.5+ Refresh model trucks or 2021+ SUVs To confirm your 2022 model truck is compatible with this unit, check your VIN. The 12th digit in an early model must be a '4' or lower Made in USA

      DFM Disabler

      I have a 2019 new body style high country with a 6.2l L87 and a 10 speed transmission code MQB. Looking for a disabler that is compatible. Most show it’s not. I watched a video on utube from Dons Life that says Ranges RA003B is compatible but when you go to Ranges website and check compatibility it only has a 8L90 trans listed which is an 8 speed.  I don’t want to buy the wrong one. Anyone have any experience with this situation?

      This actually happened. Be careful where you get your information re: gas price trends.

      Needing this part.

      I understand the principle...you don't want to spend $150 for a $0.02 piece of plastic or a little screw and perch thingy.   But this is a problem that looks like it can be reliably solved with a zip tie.   That might hold you over until you can score one at a pick-a-parts yard.
